Hi all, when booting up my PC I get this command failure!

sec slave hard disk S.M.A.R.T command failure

press f1 to continue.

So i do and boot up as normal no other issues detected. Initially thinking it was my Spinpoint drive with the issue I downloaded the correct samsung diagnostic tool onto a cd and booted up to run a report to find the failure. However this resulted in failure as it said i had insufficent memory. Therefore on futher detection it appeared that it was my primary drive that had the issue 'the raptor' so I downloaded the windows based version of the diagnostic tool from the western digital website. I ran both quick and indepth test on both hard disks and both reports came back fine. I have checked all cables are firmly plugged in, but have not changed the sata 2 cable. 'is this worth doing?' Any other ideas??? Thanks.
